Commissioner Douglas reported meeting with Greg St. <br /> Claire regarding this year's concerts who noted that his staff did the lifting <br /> and moving of tables and chairs each week. Commissioner Douglas <br /> suggested that the Commission take over the concerts including the booking <br /> of the groups. He felt that $700.00 and more were spent on the rental of <br /> sound equipment each week and noted that many bands have their own <br /> sound system. Commissioner Britschgi felt that the Live in Downtown <br /> concerts should be turned over to another group, a promoter or perhaps the <br /> new Downtown Manager. It was suggested the sub-committee meet to <br /> discuss the matter further. Tamara Piulle felt the Commission should make <br /> sure that the music at Stafford Park has a different focus than the downtown <br /> concerts. The Downtown Concert sub-committee will consist of <br /> Commissioners Douglas, Kushin and Ayala. <br /> -Public Art <br /> Commissioner Britschgi announced that she, Commissioner Douglas, Planning <br /> Commissioner Tamara Piulle and Council Member Barbara Pierce met to <br /> discuss the draft public art proposal. She reported that Planner Tom <br /> Passanisi has reviewed the draft ordinance and it will be discussed with <br /> developers and the Planning Commission. Secretary Monroe announced the <br /> balance of the Public Art account is $5,000.00. <br />
